Zinamax Review 2026Is It Worth the Money?

What is in it, per 2 capsules: lactoferrin 200 mg, wild pansy extract 150 mg, rosehip extract 114 mg (80 mg vitamin C), nettle leaf 100 mg, a tocotrienol complex 100 mg, gotu kola 50 mg, black pepper extract 5 mg, vitamin A 800 µg, vitamin E 3.36 mg, vitamin B6 18 mg, zinc 15 mg and selenium 55 µg. It contains milk.

What the evidence says:

• Lactoferrin is the one ingredient with acne trials: in a 12-week study of 36 people, 200 mg a day cut inflammatory lesions by 38.6% versus placebo. That study used fermented milk, not a capsule.
• The American Academy of Dermatology found the evidence insufficient to recommend vitamins or plant-based products for acne.
• Vitamin B6 is 18 mg, above the NHS limit of 10 mg, and high-dose B6 has been linked to acne.

There is no money-back guarantee; the terms allow 10 days from purchase.

Our Dose Check compares each label amount with the best human study.

• Lactoferrin: 200 mg, the same as the 200 mg a day in the Kim 2010 trial, but that trial used fermented milk. The Chan 2017 and Mueller 2011 abstracts do not give the amount. 100% of one trial dose.
• Zinc: 15 mg versus 30 mg of elemental zinc in the 2001 trial. 50%. It is within the NHS limit of 25 mg.
• Vitamin B6: 18 mg versus the NHS limit of 10 mg and the EFSA upper level of 12 mg. 180% and 150% (our calculation).
• Wild pansy 150 mg, nettle 100 mg, tocotrienol complex 100 mg, gotu kola 50 mg: no acne trial to compare against.
• Vitamin A 800 µg, vitamin C 80 mg, selenium 55 µg, vitamin E 3.36 mg: 100%, 100%, 100% and 28% of reference intakes.

The directions say 2 capsules a day with about 300 ml of water; the vendor's English FAQ says to take a capsule twice a day after a meal. A pack of 60 capsules lasts a month.

Our Transparency Score checks five things a buyer can verify. Zinamax scores 2 out of 5.

• Label with doses: yes. All twelve lines are dosed on the product's own pages and by NuviaLab.
• Identifiable company: no. The German terms name "Key Player Limited" in the Dubai Airport Freezone; the English terms name "MemberXXL.com" in Hong Kong, which is another product's name. Both exclude EU law. No manufacturer is given.
• Refund terms in writing: yes. 10 calendar days from purchase, unused goods only.
• Independent testing shown: no. No lab, certificate or GMP statement appears.
• Study on the finished product: no. The page's "38.6% less inflammation" comes from a 36-person trial of fermented milk with lactoferrin.

NuviaLab, the co-seller, has 1.9 out of 5 from 148 reviews on Trustpilot.

Correction. An earlier version of this review listed zinc picolinate, omega-3, vitamin A at 2,500 to 5,000 IU, niacinamide, probiotics and vitamin D3 (none is in it), showed a dose table that compared selenium, vitamin C and zinc with reference intakes instead of trial doses, scored it 9.2 out of 10 in the text and 3.7 out of 5 in the box, showed a 90-day guarantee, free shipping and GMP certification, and cited references on zinc, omega-3 and probiotics. The real US prices are $58.99, $117.98 and $176.97, and there is no guarantee. We have corrected it.

Prices when we checked in September 2026:

• Swiss site (where our link leads, in German): CHF 55.99 for 1 pack, CHF 111.98 for 2+1 (CHF 37.33 each), CHF 167.97 for 3+3 (CHF 28.00 each), plus CHF 9 shipping by card or CHF 37 cash on delivery.
• US site: $58.99, $117.98 ($39.33 each) and $176.97 ($29.50 each), plus $12 shipping.

That is about $1.97 a day for one pack and $0.98 a day for the six-pack (our calculation).

Refunds. The pages offer no money-back guarantee. The English terms say the customer may withdraw only "within 10 calendar days from the date of purchase of goods", that returns "must be preceded by a written statement", and that "Goods can not bear traces of use and must be pre-packed." They add: "The application of EU law is not possible." The lactoferrin trial ran 12 weeks, so a 30-day pack cannot be tried inside that window.

• Vitamin B6: the NHS says not to take more than 10 mg a day in supplements unless a doctor advises it, and that the effect of 10 to 200 mg is unclear. Zinamax has 18 mg, and dermatology reviews link high-dose B6 to acne.
• Zinc: 15 mg is within the NHS limit of 25 mg. The NHS says high doses reduce the copper the body can absorb.
• Milk: lactoferrin comes from cow's milk; the label carries an allergen warning.
• Label caution: "Do not exceed the recommended daily dose."

The vendor's FAQ says "It does not cause any side effects" and that the product is "completely safe". We found no safety data on the finished product. Two of the three lactoferrin studies (Chan 2017 and Mueller 2011) reported no adverse events related to lactoferrin.
